UCL maintains 4th place in QS World University Rankings

UCL has maintained fourth place – its highest ever position – in the annual QS World University Rankings, published today.

The university is second among UK universities, placing it second behind
the University of Cambridge, and ahead of the University of Oxford and Imperial College London.

Welcoming the news, Professor Malcolm Grant, UCL President and Provost,
said: “We do not, of course, claim that the methodology is rigorous,
but this result nonetheless captures very accurately the enormous
strength of this great institution.”

Picture of the week

This building is familiar to staff and students today as the Slade School of Fine Art. But it also has a place in this history of science: it is the building in which William Ramsay discovered the noble gases - for which he won the Nobel Prize. More elements have been discovered in this building than in any other in the world. See this week's Picture of the Week

Open Days

The Faculty participates in a number of open days throughout the academic year, including the UCL Undergraduate Open Day every June, and the Science & Engineering Postgraduate Open Day every January.
